Style Scout: Siren Holland
Name: Siren Holland
Age: 14
Relationship status: Single
Hometown: Minneapolis, Minn.
Time in Lawrence: I’ve been here about seven or eight years now.
Occupation: Student (ninth grade)
Dream job: Probably something to do with astronomy. I’m not zeroed in on something, but that whole profession is kind of where I want to be.
What were you doing when scouted? Drinking my coffee outside of Starbucks.
Describe your style: It’s kind of alternative in a way… it depends on the day. Sometimes it’s a little bit gothic, I guess.
Fashion trends you love: I love the idea of huge sweaters and tights or leggings. Also, fall fashion is my favorite. I love that crop tops are coming back.
Fashion trends you hate: Cargo shorts, jorts, sagging — like, really? You’re gonna do that?
Fashion influences: Probably subconsciously a whole bunch of people. I guess sometimes it’s more pastel gothic, in a way. My mother buys me a lot of the cool clothes I have.
What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence? I love how nice it is here. All the people are really accepting, compared to other places in Kansas. I don’t like how some of the people drive — it makes me scared sometimes, especially when the students come back and everyone’s here and it’s terrifying.
Tattoos or piercings: Double-pierced ears; 0 gauge
What’s your spirit animal? An elk, because I kind of relate with how huge they are, and they’re just very graceful — I’ve always kind of resonated with that sort of thing.
Whom do people say you look like? When I was younger, fourth, fifth grade, people thought I looked like Sam from “iCarly.”
Tell us a secret: I wear only two pairs of shoes. I only have, like, two pairs, and I alternate between them.
